World Literature is a vital part of twentieth-first century
critical and comparative literary studies. As a field that engages
seriously with function of literary studies in our global era, the
study of World literature requires new approaches. The Cambridge
History of World Literature is founded on the assumption that World
Literature is not all literatures of the world nor a canonical set
of globally successful literary works. It highlights scholarship on
literary works that focus on the logics of circulation drawn from
multiple literary cultures and technologies of the textual. While
not rejecting the nation as a site of analysis, these volumes will
offer insights into new cartographies - the hemispheric, the
oceanic, the transregional, the archipelagic, the multilingual
local - that better reflect the multi-scalar and spatially
dispersed nature of literary production. It will interrogate
existing historical, methodological and cartographic boundaries,
and showcase humanistic and literary endeavors in the face of world
scale environmental and humanitarian catastrophes.
